Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
do i understand that after all day my reading should be less then 120 even after the whole day .
But I am new to this so get other opinions first.
My doctor said, that for me anyway, I should be under 120 when I wake up in the morning, and under 160 two hours after meals.
Even THOSE numbers seem high from what I have read. I try to be under 100 when I wake up (I usually am) and under 140 when I spike after meals (which I usually am).
so please let us know what you are eating during the day; how many calories? how many grams of carbohydrates? When are you taking your readings? What medicines are you taking? How much are you exercising?
Also, some people have mentioned to me if your levels are high, drink water, and exercise.
Hope this helps.
Its good to monitor and record....keep a log...best to design your own...the ones on the market are lacking.....I use an accountants book.
